Kenny Kunene sparked off a new trend among moneyed blacks who eat sushi and puff Cuban cigars with his extravagant parties.

What exactly does Kenny and his human platters have to do with this? From the story, they eat the food off of real plates at this restaurant.

I like sushi. I also like Korean food. That hardly makes me a multi millionaire or some kind of pervert.

MommaC, eating sushi does not make you some kind of pervert? I don't know about that one. Just the idea of eating raw fish sounds slightly perverted to me :) Give me a nice big juicy steak any time, or at least cook the fish, but each to her own nè!

Lungu, what name are you talking about?

Nice story. Bravo to this Kunene. His understated manner shows class that the more well known Kunene is sorely lacking.

Smoked salmon or rollmops are a special treat. First thing I ever do when going to Cape Town is to stop by an old pontokie that is there by Lansdown and buy a smoked snoek - heaven!

Sowetan that none of your business, everyone who is eating or preparing sushi is onother kenny kunene? leave him alone, the last time i checked kenny was empowering black by giving them odd jobs but Zuma/zille is doing none of that.

MommaC, but smoked salmon or smoked snoek is like biltong, so it's not raw fish. I'm talking that white slimey raw pieces of fish people dip in sauces. EEEK!!! Went to some fancy do the other night, and they served springbok carpacchio (spelling?) as starters. If I had know it is raw springbok meat, I would have skipped the starter, but was forced to slide this piece of raw meat (it looked like a piece of raw liver) down my throat. Uh-uh, I'm off any kind of raw meat for life.

I love it! Even my steak. Run the cow past the fire and lop a piece off.

Not all of the sushi is raw fish. There are a lot of options that are vegetarian and some that are cooked.

Lungu, it would be a combination between black and japanese, and I quite like the name. Let's not take all colour out of our names. It would make the world a very dull place.

MommaC, I'll go try some of the dishes you mentioned, but I end up with raw fish, it's on your book.
